Nightmare on Ralphie Street

Ralphie is baaaaaack! After years of not seeing him he's back! (Time to que in Jaws music). For those who don't know the back story of Ralphie, here's the story: Years ago I went to a party with Mish and that was the first time I encountered Ralphie. I'm not exagerating when I say he looks like Ralphie from the Christmas Story.

Anyways he was a tool from the moment I met him and he was all like, "yeah I went to Broughton High School too, blah, blah, blah." Needless to say I was glad when we left the party. Not long after that party I saw him at White Collar Crime in which case I was cornered by him and slightly scared I gave him my digits. I couldn't think straight to give him a fake number, oh well. Anyways he called from several different numbers (no lie, I had him stored as Ralphie 1, Ralphie 2 and I think there was a Ralphie 3) and I never answered. This went on for a LONG time, finally he got the hint. WEIRDO!
So back to how he came back INTO my life... It all started at Roo's crib with super strong jello shots, followed by drinks and shots at Landmark. You could say I had liquid courage, I was saying random things to every guy that walked by me which included RALPHIE. I was in my own world. There were 2 events that caused Ralphie to come back into my life: #1 It was my own fault for opening my mouth to Ralphie. It didn't even dawn on me that it was Ralphie. Of course he came back and started talking to me about how we'd met before. I played dumb because I was still trying to block out the horror from years past. I take responsibilty that I opened up a can of worms. #2 My friends weren't helpful. I won't name any specific names but you ladies know who you are. Those girls "allegedly" talked Ralphie up about me, how I was single and ready to mingle (yada, yada, yada) not to mention endless photos that were taken. I was hoping they would come save me, but that did not happen. Love y'all anyways! When it came to him asking for my number then following it with an "I'll call you right now so you'll have my number" there was NO WAY I could give him a fake number! I was overjoyed when we left Landmark and Ralphie in the dust! I just have to figure out how to play my cards to make sure he doesn't become a permanent fixture in my life!
